The KJV/Hebrew/Vulgate columns cover Jeremiah 42, in which the surviving remnant of Judah\u2014led by military commanders including Johanan son of Kareah\u2014petitions the prophet Jeremiah to seek divine guidance on whether to remain in the land or flee to Egypt following the Babylonian devastation. After a ten-day wait, Jeremiah delivers God's answer: stay in the land and God will rebuild and protect you; flee to Egypt and the very sword and famine you fear will overtake you there. The Septuagint column runs a different chapter entirely (Jeremiah 35 in LXX numbering), recounting the Rechabites' faithful refusal to drink wine in obedience to their ancestor Jonadab's command\u2014a passage God uses to shame Israel by contrast, since the Rechabites obeyed a human ancestor while Israel ignored repeated divine warnings. The distinctive scholarly value lies in the side-by-side comparison, which exposes the Septuagint's divergent chapter ordering and minor textual variations against the Hebrew and Latin traditions. This text would primarily interest biblical scholars, students of textual criticism, or readers studying the compositional history of the Hebrew Bible.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Jeremiah: Jeremiah 42","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":2220}
